It’s a family favorite that always disappears fast—my daughter and husband can’t get enough of it. Perfect for busy weeknights, this easy one-pan meal brings the best of both worlds together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
10 oz spaghetti noodles
1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
2 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Add Seasoning and Liquids

Stir in the taco seasoning, Rotel, and beef broth. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with all the flavorful seasonings.

Step 3: Add the Pasta

Break the spaghetti noodles in half and add them directly to the skillet. Press them down into the liquid so they’re mostly covered. Bring to a simmer.
